MOTOFOCUS is a battery operated hand control with an electric focus motor that attaches to the shaft of a focuser knob (or the knob itself) for precise, vibration-free focusing without the need to touch the telescope. It is great for visual and photographic use and features variable speed for coarse and fine adjustments. Precise positioning is accomplished through electronic braking. Mounting is easy and requires no drilling or tapping. Add the Personal Computer Focus Control (PCFC) or Digital Focus Counter (DFC), for improved focusing accuracy and repeatability.

The TNT motor drive system includes adjustable speeds on both axes and high speed centering. The friction drives also allow you to move the telescope around by hand without unlocking any clutches. You just let go and the drive takes over. With a little practice, objects can be kept in the eyepiece for 10 minutes or more. This version of the TNT is battery driven with 8 AA batteries.

JMI Telescopes (Jim's Mobile, Inc.) is a world-renowned manufacturer of astronomical telescopes and after-market accessories for the amateur and professional astronomer. We produce a variety of unique products that cannot be found anywhere else. The founder and President of Jim's Mobile is Jim Burr.

Jim's philosophy is to create products that no others are selling. "Our style is not to copy other companies, but to create unique products to solve problems. If other companies are building good products, we are not going to compete with them. We only take action when we see a need that no one is addressing. In the case of our NGF focusers, even though there were many companies building focusers, we could find nothing that came close to zero image shift. I thought the time had come to solve that problem."

"The development of the NGT line of telescopes, spanning more than a decade, has been very exciting for us here at JMI. These telescopes represent a total departure from trends in commercial telescope making, and there is no doubt they have a bright future. Our telescopes have received recognition in more than a dozen publications worldwide."
